Karate - ERROR com.intuit.karate - java.net.SocketException: Connection reset, http call failed after xxx milliseconds [duplicate] - karate

Question

so my company has implemented Oauth2.0 on two different internal servers. when i try using karate to get the token back on the myldev server. i get it back with any issues. (with configure ssl = True)
But when i do the exact same call against the mylqa server. i get the following error

I havent faced this issue with other tools in my mac. Jmeter which uses apache client 4.5.5 didnt have an issue getting the response back

P.S.
im kinda new to ssl and https. so please go easy on me. Also ive made sure that both dev server and qa server have the exact same configuration.

Answer 1

You are sure that both are HTTPS right ? It sounds very much like the QA server has stronger encryption in place. Have a look at this ticket and I hope that gets you on your way !

Someone else had a similar question, but sadly no answer yet: Link
Similar issue turned out to be missing Accept header: Link
Can you try the new custom certificate support: https://github.com/intuit/karate#x509-certificate-authentication
